PARROTT Cartersville, Aug, 4th. lw Written fur ti e Western Home. vitu.i\Bi rcuin al, L>r the illi.sJrex* ol Nvlvariwood. [This story was written by a Chicago Miss, fourteen years of age, who timidly suhmits it for publication, that it will be , criticised iml ,’ a i th e first effort of a child.— People said that Virginia Percival wjultl never marry, that she hated: mm; the gossips of .M had nil giv en her up as a hopeless case, and left her to her fate. They said—but stay w j will introduce her to you. It is a blight October evening; the sos calm me on shod; its peaceful rays ■ over the gray old walls of Sylvan wood; j at a window on the south side of the m m-iion stands a young lady, holding back, with her delicate hand, the snowy j lace curtain that falls in soft graceful drapery over the rich folds of her crim son robe, her eyes, bl i-k, deep, lumi nous and full of soul, her resy dimpled checks and faultless features, over which plays the radiant expression of an ardent nature, her magnificent hair, which falls in rich wavy masses of mid night blackness, far below her waist, cll combined to rentier her an object of rarest beauty, and one might easily fancy her a very queen as she stands there gazing out upon the quiet moon lit scene before her. While she is standing there wo will review her oast life. We will go back four years to a time when she was in Europe; her parents having taken her there to finish her musical education. Her wonderful beauty, not a little assisted by her father’s immense wealth, won her a welcome among the highest circles of society, and she was the reigning belle wherever she went.— The wiles and flatteries of fashionable* life easily wrought upon her young heart. Among her acquaintances was one young man whom she loved very dearly. He was handsome iu features and fascinating in manners, and Vir ginia imagined him the soul of honor, while at heart he was the basest of cowards. They were engaged, and Virginia thought herself the happiest of mortals, lint the crisis came at last; a false report was started that Mr. Percival had lost all his vast prop erty iu a great speculation. This soon reached Ralph Dudley’s ears, and he broke the engagement. But when he learned the falsity of the report and would have renewed it, Virginia’s proud nature rose up and she denounc ed him as the meanest of fortune hun ters. Prom that moment commenced the struggle to tear the love from her heart, for lie was not worthy of a mo ment’s thought; yet it was hard, for how could she easily forget the ties of affection which had bound her to him, or the happy hours which she had spent with him? But she succeeded; for when some six months afterwards he married a rich widow, she heard of it and without a pang, and with a few remarks and a little scornful laugh, it passed from her mind. Meanwhile her musical culture was progressing rapidly; she was a pupil of one of the best masters, and proved j herself an attentive and diligent scliol- . ar. Shortly before the close of the term, Professor was to give a j series of three concerts, in which the j best of his pupils were to take part.— Arnorg them was Virginia. It was her first appearance before an aud ience, and she was greatly excited lest she should fail; accordingly the inver vening time was spent in the most as siduous practice. At last the important opening night arrived. The second piece vas sung by Virginia, and oh, how she sang it! I First a sweet, plaintive melody rising and fil ling, now soft, now swelling I louder and louder, and then dying! away till it seemed lost in the distance; i then suddenly a wild, startled strain | that thrilled the nerves of her listen-1 ers, ending as suddenly as it began, j and changing to a sad, plaintive re frain so full of touching pathos that j it seemed the very outpouring of a 1 heart’s agony and despair; then as it ended with a glorious burst of harmo ny, a perfect storm of applause shook the massive building, and continued till the young debutant again appear ed. Instantly every sound was hush ed, and the listeners held their breath with expectation. This time it was a joyous, mad little carol, full of grace ful runs and trills, reminding one of the warblings of a bird on a soft spring morning. As she finished she was again greeted with loud and continu ous applause, amid a shower of bo qurits. Iu one of the boxes, was a young man of very fine appearance.— Tall and powerfully formed, with rich brown wavy hair, deep hazel eyes, fine ly cut features and broad high fore head, Herbert Livingston was a model for an artist. With him was a friend who had laid a wager that hqp would fall in love with the prima dona, before the concert was over. Herbert had laughingly accepted it, feeling confi dent that he should win; but he saw Virginia—her charming voice and rav ishing beauty thrilled him through and through, and as he came away he acknowledged to his friend that he had lost the wager. Shortly af ;ev this, Virginia returned to America. They had formerly resi ded in New York city, but at Virgin ia’s request they now went to M — and took possession of the noble estate of Sylvan wood. Meanwhile Herbert Livingston had not forgotten her; her image followed him everywhere. She was present in i his thoughts by day and his dreams by night, In vain he applied himself Ito his studies iu hopes of banishing J from his mind the image of her \vlr>ix jhe had seen but once, and probably would never seo again; it would re ! turn, and at last he left the school and spent his time in traveling. \Y hat his l object was he never attempted to ex* plain, but he \hi ted all principal c.lies, and attended all the concerts and operas; every new announcement kiuriling anew in his heart the hope of seeing Virginia again. Virginia mingled very little with so ciety at Sly van wood; luid few associ ates, and t'- ese few were well eh< >s< r. Her most intimate friend was Alice Livingstone, the daughter of the par ish clergyman, a sweet little creature whom Virginia petted, loved, and ca ressed to her heart’s content. We have now given is much ns we think necessary of Virginia’s former history, Let us now return to her, as we left her star-gazing. Her peaceful reverie was broken bv souuds of merry laughter, and a sweet voice uttered, “May I come in, Jennie?” Virginia hastened to open the door, and admit ted a fairy figure enveloped in a long, i blue cloak, with golden ringlets peep ing from under her white hood. “Oh, Allie. darling,” said A'irginia, kissing her fondly, “I'm so glad you have come. I’ve been reusing so de lightfully; isn’t the moonlight beauti ful this evening,” aud she drew her to the window. “Oh,bother the moonlight,”exclaim ed Alice, “do you think i came all the way over here this cold night to look at the moonlight ? I’ve got some news to tell you!” throwing off her cloak, and seating herself on the sofa. “Oh, I thought as much; what is it ?” i ‘Guess r “Well, then, Charlie Ingham has I pioposed.” “You know be ter,” pouted Allio. “Aveil, if it isn’t that, it must be that that wonderful, celebrated, and : illustrious brother, Herbert, is coining i home.” ! ‘‘Oh, that’s it! that’s it!” laughed . Alice, burying her curly head in A'ir jginia’s lap, “and Jennie, I am so glad I don’t know what to do;” and tlun she added earnestly, “I know you will love him Jen., you can’t help it.” An incredulous smile curled A irgin ia s lip, but she did not answer, and Alice was far from satisfied. “He is a splendid musician.” “tS > was Ralph Dudley.” “Oh, now, Jennie,” said Alice, re proachfully, “I didn’t think that of you; the idea of coin par ng my brother to him 1” “You must forgive mo, >llie, for I have no faith in men, you know.” “But you should have; because one has proved false, it is no reason for denouncing them all.” “They are all alike,” answered Anr- j giuia, bitterly. “No, Riey are not all alike!” ext lain ed Alice, a little angrily (this was a subject on which she and Virginia could never agree;) “my brother is a dear, noble fellow, and the beet of brothers.” “Oh, that maybe; I have nothing to say against your brother, darling, but come, tell me about it; when is he coming?” “Oh,” said Alice, all smiles again, “we expect him on Friday evening, and I want you to come over and re ceive him with me, will you ?” “Perhaps, if you wish it,” “I do, and I’ll wager a box of my : best kids against your new fan, that you’ll fall in love with him before he has been here a month!” “And I’ll accept the wager, you lit tle match-maker!” “Very well, remember Friday night then,” and putting up her rosy lips for j a good-by kiss, she left the room. Airgiuia watched her as she walked down the path with the servant who had accompanied her, and laughed quietly to herself as she thought of the impossibility of her falling in love. Friday evening came; Asrginia was at the parsonage with her friend, who was anxiously’ awaiting the arrival of her brother. The family carriage had been sent to bring Herbert from the station; as ho neared the house, a sound of music came to his ears; he was sure he had heard that voice be fore, —but no—it cou and not be. and he tried to banish the thought, yet it thrilled him strangely. As the carriage drew up to the door, the music suddenly ceased, and the 1 hall door thrown open, and a little form, robed in white muslin, sprang out into his arms. “Oh, Bertie!” “LittL Sister 1” were the greetings exchanged, as he showered fond kiss es ou her cherry lips. There were no more to greet him, for Air. Livingstone had unexpectedly been called away, : aud All’s. Livingstone had long since ; responded to tLe call of the heavenly ! messenger. No more, did I say ? I was wrong: there was one more, and as Herbert looked up, he saw her through the open door, leaning against the piano, her eyes sparkling as was their wont, and lieK cheeks flushed with the exer cise of singing. She was tastefully attired in a robe of rich black velvet, which set oil her beautiful form to the best advantage. The heavy masses of her dark wavy hair were flooring over her shoulders, drawn back by a plain gold band. Herbert was stunned: he could not believe his senses. Could it be that the one for one whom he had searched so long, and whom he had love 1 so madly, had come at last, here in his own home ? Even so. Involuntarily ho sprang forward, forgetting that they were strangers, and seized her baud, exclaiming, “Miss Percival! ami mistaken?” “What’s all this ?” cried Alice, ; “Have you two known each other all along and kept me in the dark ? Then seeing the look of astonishment on Virginia’s face, she turned to her brother wiili— “ Abut does it mean ?” I 1 Pardon me, madam,” he said, col oring, “I forgot for the moment that you had never seen me before. I sup pose- you remember a concert in which j you took part a few years ago in France ?” 1 “Oh, most certainly I do,” said Yii- giaia. smiling. “So you attended tlu.t concert, did you V” “I did, and i assure you it is a mem orable cue.” Hole tin* conversation turned on events which had transpired during Herbert’s absence until ho inked Vir ginia to sing. She complied by sing ing a (harming little ballad; how well it was appreciated may l>e imagined. Thru Alice asked her brother to sing, but he excused himself on ae i count tis a cold, and no amount o urging from his sister or her beautiful friend could induce him to, iinn-h to tlie disappointment of Alice, who wish ed to give h< r friend a good opinion of her brother's musical powers. Two weeks passed, during which. Virginia, Alice, and Herbert were much ! together. It was imposed le to be long i with Herbert without admiring and respecting him, Viiginic, though slu denied all nearer feciiug, felt obliged to a; knowledge that ho was a nob e, I whole-souled man. Though Alice urg ed him persistently he had not yet been j induced to sing or play. One evening, after Virginia had re ! tired and just given herself up to pleus -1 ant dreams, she w as aiouscd by sounds ! of a guitar beneath her window, ac~ I coaipanied by a deep-toned melodious • voice. She arose, threw a light shawl j over her shoulders, and went to the window, ‘ocneath which, seated on u i low, garden chair, was a young man; I the form she thought was that of Her -1 bel t Livingstone, but as he sat in the ! shadow of a large tree she coni 1 not I distinguish his features. Hi* singing was very impassioned, his stjle exquis itely artistic, and it seemed to Virgmiu that she had never before heard any thing so charming. \\ hen he had flu shed she cr.ng’t a cluster of white rose buds from the vine that encircled her window, and dropped them at hi r feet. .She saw him pick them up and raise them to his lips, then taking his hat from liis head, he waved 'let a graceful adieu, and walked away. Prominent in Virginia PercTVr.’s dreams that night was that voice which she had heard and which she instinct ively believed was that of Herbert. Alice and Herbert had engaged to i spend the following evening with Vir ginia, and she resolved to find out foi a certainty the secret of the serenade. Accordingly soon after her visitors had made their appearance she said, “ A bird that can sing and won’t sing should be made to sing; now please Herbert,” at the same time pointing to i tho piano. To the surprise of both her and Alice, he rose immediately saying, “If you will accompany me.” ; Virginia seated herself at the piano j and ran her lingers lightly over the ; keys. “Well, what shall it be, can we not sing a duet ?” ho said as ho turned the leaves n f the music book. “Any thing you wish,” answered Vir ginia merrily.” “Well, let us try this.” It was a duet with which both were acquainted and a favorite of Virginia’s, she played the introduction and gave the signal; their voices haimonizcu ex quisiily, Lis rich, deep barrytone and her full clenr’soprano. Virginia’s eyes sparkled as rho recognized the voice she had heard the night before. The song ended; Alice was delighted, she had never heard anything so beautiful;, Herbert glanced at Virginia; here eyes were lifted to his wi,h a look so intense that there could be no mistaking it.— j The whole deep love of her woman’s | soul was pictured there. Herbert’s j heart throbbed wildly. As Virginia caught his answering look of love her ' eyes fell and a hot flu li crimsoned her check; but not before Alice too had j caught the look and [ leading some ex- | cusc left the room. Virginia arose and went to the window. Heibeit follow- j ed and they remained for some time in silence, which was at last broken by j Ilerbt rt, who said: “Virginia, nay I tell you the story of my life abroad V” “Yes,” (seating herself on the broad window sill.) Herbert was silent for a moment, as j if in thought, and then he went on— “ Four yean ago I wa» in Paris, I had for a year previous been in Germa ny, persuing my studies, but was then spending my vacation in P iris with a ' college friend. We were both great ' lovers of music, and took advantage of j may opportunities which were offered us for attending concerts and musical entertainments. Up to that time I had only known love as connected with my family friends, and college companions. I had thought no woamu save my mother and sister worth loving; so ! when my friend laid a wager that I; would fall in love w ith a beautiful sing er who was to take a prominent part in a certain concert that evening, 1 j laughingly replied that I thought he knew nu betterth.au that. I accepted the wager and went to the eoncer . I need only say that I lost the wager; the voice and face of that beautiful gin has haunted me ever since, and I felt ; that I would give worlds, to have one more glance from her beaming eye, i and hear once more her exquisite voice. “A week or two afterwards, I went back to school, but I did not stay long; \ I could uot, and in a mouth I left, re turning again to France, but 1 was disappointed I did not see her. My only correspondent on this side of the water, was my sr ter; she write ) often, and about this time in one of her letters, spoke of her “dear friend, Jen nie,” wishing I could see her and hear her sing, she was so beautiful and sung so t-hrilhngly. She never spoke of her by any other mime than Jennie,and soj I thought nothing of it. “After that, Allice’s letters were full of quotations from and descriptions of “Jennie,” urging me to come home and see tliis peerless friend, and J. having nothing else to do consented and came.
